My Chickens Are Soaking Wet.

Hi all I left my chucks out and they are all wet as it rained.
What do I do? Catch them and dry them?
Thanks

Do the hens have a dry and wind proof henhouse where they can roost above the ground? If so, they will be fine. They will go up onto their roosts and preen their feathers one by one with their beaks. This will dry them out. However, if the hens have to stay outdoors on wet ground, you really should try to get most of the water out of their feathers yourself, and then let them get under cover until they are reasonably dry.

No, my Rosella parrot has a bath once a week and dries off by himself.

Not specifically for chickens but here is advice about drying birds.

Yes, do they have somewhere dry and warm to shelter?

OP did put a picture up of a hen house on a previous thread.

err - what do wild birds do? I think they are pretty much waterproof once they have fledged.
